					<description><![CDATA[April was delightful – from a gorgeous full-moon to the outburst of magnolia and fruit tree blossoms. Birds are off building nests; migratory birds are returning; irrigation is back on; we built a new willow fence to keep the deer out of the raspberries.

					<description><![CDATA[It's another drippy day in the Pacific Northwest. What to do ... or not ...  that is the question.

April is National Gardening Month. The blogs are full of To-Do Lists on what you should be doing if you had your act together (which is making this overachiever feel like a real slacker).
